Making Your Mobile App Feel More Responsive: The Elements of Motion Design
With screen-based design, it is often simple to employ and further be restricted by the techniques of print. When we interact with, for example, a magazine, we are presented with static pages. Layout largely dictates how accessible and enjoyable content consumption will be. On each page, we are responsible for learning and understanding what the page is trying to communicate to us. Designer's (should) love this challenge. As a designer, when I work to build mobile apps, I ask myself how much I can control this process with my layouts. Much to the designer's dismay, experience is largely subjective and personal. How then, can we take advantage of the screen to further control and ultimately improve the experience during mobile app development? Last time , we took a look at responsive apps from the perspective of speed-to-content; how quickly and elegantly can we move from context to context? Magazines are pretty good at this. Turn the page and BAM , instant results.
